The only sensible move that appears to be coming out of this is discouraging
people in NY from feeding the geese in the suburbs around the airport.
Reducing the supply of food could have a significant impact on the number of
birds in the vicinity.

However, knowing how people love to feed birds I suspect this is a doomed
method of control.

There are interesting figures around for bat (flying-fox) strike which have
recently been produced in Australia - Townsville tops the list. Some
American states record 'reptile' strikes too. Sadly not specific as to
species.
